Cool-season fronts carry Roy's rain: March logs 2.5 inches on 16.1 days, against June's 0.6 inches on 5.8 — winter does the heavy lifting in Roy. That cool-season-wet pattern aligns Roy with places like Clinton, UT, Riverdale, UT and Sunset, UT.

Around mid-April, Roy sheds its freezing nights — kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips go into Roy's beds. Heat-demanding starts go out a fortnight on in Roy, after the soil warms and cold snaps clear. Frost returns to Roy near mid-November, ending the tender-crop season. A creek-bottom lot in Roy can lag Roy's last frost 7-10 days behind a south slope.
